If you are interested or know someone looking to change jobs within the banking and finance sectors, come and have a look at our current vacancies on the Virtue website.

How Often Should I Change Jobs?

Click here to take you directly to Chris Heswall’s blog. Here is a little taster of what Chris has to say….

“Many Recruiters tend to regard a CV with long term employment within one brand with a stereotypical view that you’ll likely be “Instutionalised”. By long term, I’m talking 10 years plus. Not sure what happened to more endearing terms such as “loyal” or “stable” – but unless you’re keen to be part of the next Jurassic Park movie, the smart money for job marketability and career advancement is through actively changing employers on a regular basis.”

Middle Management… The Lost Generation?

“It’s a great time to be in the NZ job market, particularly within the financial sector, given hiring demand for many roles is greater than the supply of talent. Unless you fit into a hiring category I’ll call the “M zone”. “M” as for Moa”, “Mammoth” and “M” as for “Middle Management”, given these roles are almost as extinct. I’m all for good causes like “Save the Whale” – but maybe it’s time to start a campaign to “Save Middle Management”?”
